We are halfway through our end-of-year fundraiser

We are halfway through our end-of-year fundraiser and want to extend a huge thanks to those who have already so generously donated to Young Agrarians (YA). Without your support, our work wouldn't be possible - thanks for being with us on this journey!Young Agrarians works with young and aspiring farmers and farm organizations across the country to help build a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable food system for future generations of Canadians.Here is an example of what two recent farmers who used our B.C. Land Matching Program had to say about their experience working with YA:"Land access seems so out of reach for so many people like us, but the B.C. Land Matching Program is a beacon of hope. As first generation farmers, we were farming on leased land but needed somewhere with more secure tenure to grow our business. Initially, we went to a land matching event and connected with a land matcher to start our search. Then, our current land opportunity appeared, and we wanted to make sure that the lease was written by someone who knew what they were doing.Farming can sometimes feel isolating, but we are so grateful for all the resources YA offers. As our first season on the new farm is winding down, we’re signing up for the Business Mentorship Network, to get further guidance on how to reach our big farming goals. Staying connected to YA and farmers in the YA network brings a sense of community, and a hope that there are people out there keeping agriculture alive!"-Christine Weston and Emmo Halloran, Matriarch MeatsFrom on-farm training, to access to land, business mentorships, and e-learning, YA builds the resources and programs needed to address the challenges of entry into ecological farming. Our goal this December is to raise $25,000 to ensure we can continue to enhance and strengthen the largest farmer-to-farmer educational resource network in Canada. We could really use your support! Donating is easy and secure through our Donate page at the link in our bio or head to Youngagrarians.org/donateThank you for investing in the next generation of ecological farmers and agricultural leaders!#bclandmatchingprogram #bclmp #growbc #bcagri
